I am bad...I didn't do a menu this week. I was exhausted yesterday after the busy weekend, and we are going to just pull out of freezer this week, but not sure what yet..I decided each of us will pick what we want for one day. :-)

In the process of viewing blogsites on OAMC, I stumbled across a site that doesn't neccessarily do OAMC but felt it was worth posting about because the purpose of the website is to do a dinner each night for $5 or under. It is just proof that you can do dinner cheaply and still have the quality and taste you want. I am sure that many of the recipes after glancing at them, could be adapted to freeze. The website is http://www.5dollardinners.com.

Be sure to check it out and try it for yourself and see what you can cook for $5. Let me know how it turns out.

I am joining over 400 women who blog and post their weekly menus onlineso we can share ideas, save money and know what we are having for dinner, without having to stress about what we are going to do for dinner. I will try and post the recipes I use for each dinner. Here is my first attempt, if you click on the weekly menus online above it will take you to the list of the other 400+ menus. All my recipes unless otherwise noted, will be from my freezer. I am going to try and post how much each recipe costs in the future, I can tell you that most of my meals are under $6.50 per meal, as I normally spend around $150-175 per month. The main site that does the MPM's (Menu Plan Monday's) is called $5 dinners. All the meals are under $5 each meal. So you can eat healthy, and have variety and still each cheap.
